    Which one is currently genociding Uhygurs? Which one illegally annexed Tibet and Hong Kong? Both countries are authoritarian shit-holes.

        While the transfer of power itself was fine and legal, didn’t they break the basic law they put in by violating people’s rights and freedoms? I do agree that it’s worded badly though

      Nope, only one of them is a shithole.

      Which one illegally annexed Tibet

      I’m pretty sure virtually all of the Tibetan people are happy to no longer be suffering under theocratic feudalism. Happy to no longer be illiterate serfs and slaves, suffering depredation under a god-king. I doubt many of them are sad that CIA asset Dalai “suck my tongue” Lama is in exile. [1] [2]

      and Hong Kong?

      Entirely legal. In fact it would have been illegal for the UK not to hand it over.

      The UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate Hong Kong ended. A lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion. The last minute, US-backed attempt at color revolution failed.

      Which one is currently genociding Uhygurs?

      Neither, but one of them trained, funded, and organized terrorists in the region, and then made up a genocide narrative, and then imposed illegal sanctions on it using the fabricated genocide narrative as a pretext. Previously.

        Idk if it’s just me, but it’s insane to bring up Uhygur genocide, which has not been in the news or mentioned at all for years, while we watch US funded Israel blowing up starving children on a daily basis.

      There is evidence that China was oppressive to Ughyurs, but currently enacting an active genocide is a stretch.

      If you want an overview of someone cutting through the bullshit: https://youtu.be/cz9ICFDk8Js

      TLDW:

      • Likely cultural genocide
      • Philosophies that would make Westerner’s mouth water - Forced assimilation / “Taming” the natives type shit
      • Western sources/“journalists” are dubious, twisting stories out of proportion or making shit up entirely
      • However there are plenty of testimonies from the Uyghurs themselves – the sheer volume of which cannot be ignored

      Anyways, from what I’ve heard, China’s dialed this shit back when they were first put on the spotlight. For whatever oppression China may have taken part of, it is not even a tenth of what the oppression the United States and other Western nations have been dishing out for the past few centuries.

      US genocided Natives to be born, and historically oppressed its own population (slavery, internment camps, etc) and has continually oppressed others (overthrowing democracies, genocide, crimes against humanity, etc)

      UK, Germany, France and other Western nations also love aiding genociders while also oppressing anti-genociders.

      France also has an obsession with trying to force Muslim women to undress in public, dictate how they dress. Lmao
